Movies have deleted scenes, everyone knows that. But itâs rare we see deleted game scenes, because theyâre normally just 1s and 0s, and if theyâre not in the final game, we donât see them. Unless weâre talking Monkey Island!
While working on the recent Special Edition of the game, Lucasartsâ Adam Bormann says he had to go back into the code for the original Monkey Island. And while in there, poking around for puzzle AI, he found a ton of content left in the game by its developers, including Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer.
Seems every time the original developers made a change to a puzzle or a piece of dialogue, they simply left the old stuff in the code. So Lucasarts have yanked it all out and posted it. Some of itâs all-new content, others added lines to existing chit-chats, but for fans of the series itâs all good reading.
